■ Threshold criteria:
— Percent traffic capacity utilized. This is the percent of the port’s
throughput capacity achieved by the measured throughput. This setting
constitutes the threshold value. For example, the value of 50 means that
the port’s threshold is reached when throughput is 50% of capacity.
— Time interval during which throughput is measured and alert notification
can occur.
— The maximum cumulative time that the throughput percentage can be
exceeded during the set time interval before an alert is generated.
■ Ports for which you are configuring threshold alerts.
You can configure up to 16 alerts, and any number of alerts can be active at one
time.
Use the following procedures to create a new threshold alert, or to modify,
activate, deactivate, or delete an alert.
